I'm skimming through mentions of Trump in the Trump-Epstein Files, and there's one thing that I'm thinking over and over:
All we had to do was believe the women.
There are dozens of stories in here that make me ill. Do you really believe these are all lies?

It's near-white out conditions in Chicago as the snow comes down, and tonight's anti-ICE/CBP rally is wrapping up in front of city hall.
But not before the crowd bounces and chants, "I believe that we will win!"

Some of the worst things human beings have done to one another has been carried out under the guise of “law and order” and “upholding religion.”
This is the favored tactic of many authoritarians througout history and today.
Yet we refuse to learn this lesson.

If what we’ve seen of the Epstein Files so far—heavily redacted and with 3 million pages still missing—is bad, keep in mind that the *Files in full* are a *hundred* times worse.
That’s how this works.

Six days ago federal officers murdered a man in the streets of Minneapolis and we still don't know their identities. Is there any modern precedent for this?

ICE and CBP agents seem to enjoy gratuitously breaking glass—from car windows to store fronts to homes. It’s an expression of unchecked power and dominance: “We’re in charge. We break and shatter what we want.”
And nights of broken glass have been a harbinger of worse to come.

This is what the Republican party has become. The GOP: instead of Grand Old Party. It's Guardians Of Pedophiles (Trump), Or Goons on Patrol (ICE- Homan, Noem, Bovino).

What about this murder by ICE, Spencer Cox, Mike Lee, John Curtis, Burgess Owens, Blake Moore, Celeste Malloy and Mike Kennedy? Are you going to say a thing? Or will you just continue to cower? Will you vote in a few days to keep funding ICE?
Imagine how much they’d be lying about what happened without all the videos showing it from multiple angles.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

This is what we've come to: masked thugs dragging people out of cars as they go about their everyday lives. ICE wants to terrorize people for no good reason other than to get them to submit. To sit down. To shut up. And Utah's Congressional delegation? Happy to oblige.
Today at 34 & Park in Minneapolis, a woman tried to drive down the street where a protest had broken out in front of a home ICE was raiding, saying she had a doctor apt to get to. ICE agents busted out her windows, cut off her seatbelt, and pulled her out before arresting her.

This, from the Chair of the DNC, is worth reading as we recollect the dark events of five years ago. Democrats will continue to defend our country and our elections from attack.
It’s been five years since Donald Trump incited a violent mob to attack the U.S. Capitol and prevent a peaceful transfer of power.

One of Trump’s first principles: might makes right.
The message Donald Trump just sent to the world is that you can kidnap the head of state of another nation with impunity

Just saying, that appears to be the message he wanted everyone around the world to internalize

The chief requirement to be a Republican lawmaker is a willingness to deny reality. Here's Rep. Darrell Issa saying Trump won't run Venezuela a couple hours after Trump explicitly said he would run Venezuela.
Rep. Darrell Issa: "I'm sure President Trump having learned the lesson of Afghanistan and Iraq has no intention to tell them how to run their country. He has simply liberated them from a strongman."
